If he truly made such a statement - he was aware that the bag contained human remains but discarded them because he thought they were unimportant due to their small size - he should be involuntarily dismissed from the police force and barred from joining any law enforcement agency in Japan.

A sociopath as a police officer, how on earth did he get through the psychological assessments?

The very same way the male and female police officers, who committed suicide using their police weapons because of love difficulties, got admitted to peace-and-order protecting entity. Anyone surprised at this has not been here for long. Too long.

Lol wow, the people in the comments overreact a little to frequently.

They never even said what parts and the size. This bag could have been small bones. The real problem that you should focus on is not on how the family will take it (that’s not your business) and not about this poor old woman (that you never knew). The real problem is the instructions given to the officer that made him accidentally discard the remains. From that context though it seems police offers do discard remains in the case were they are separated from the body and are super small. If you want to argue about that point go ahead. People will all have different views. But a good starting place as a remedy is keeping all remains (no matter size) until after the autopsy.

Then one can argue that the family should be asked about smaller pieces of remains.

On a lighter note...my coworkers once pranked me by leaving a phone message note on my desk with the name "Myra Manes" and the number to a funeral home. They weren't amused when I called looking for you know who.
